WalterCon 2004 Come meet with the people creating OpenBeOS. Be the first to hear the new name and see the new website. Get a leg up on the other developers by getting the new Master's Awards rules first. Tour sunny Columbus, Ohio! Yes, that's right. We will be in Columbus, Ohio on June 19-20, 2004. One short, action packed weekend full of fun and excitement. We'll get started at 9 or 10 AM on Saturday and finish up about 5PM on Sunday. What will all of this cost? For no more than $110, we supply sleeping arrangements, the conference room, the guest speakers, and internet connectivity in the conference room. You supply your body, food and a PC, if you choose. Why Columbus? Several reasons. Airfare was lower than any of the other cities we considered (even New York). It is reasonably placed among the East Coast Developers. The prices are drastically lower than the other cities that we considered. Registration is $30. We have 15 rooms reserved for $80 per night at the hotel at which we'll be holding the conference. You're not required to stay at the hotel, but if we can't fill all 15 rooms we may have to call the conference off. Thus, please specify if you'd like to register for the conference only ($30), or if you'd like registration plus lodging ($30 + $80 per night). Double-occupancy ($30 + $40 per night) and triple-occupancy ($30 + $27 per night) will be an option if there are enough interested parties. Well, what do I need to do? Contact us ( waltercon at dauwalder.net ) by April 15 and let us know you are coming and how definite you are. Don't send money yet - we will get to that point later.
